Whole piece was amusing but this is what nearly had me laughing:
SULLIVAN: But nobody remembers.
WEISS: And this time we’re not gonna back down!
[Tom Petty plays; fast CURTAIN.]
As for Sully and his phallophilia, the final nail in the coffin for me was back eons ago when he was telling his brothers that they must engage in safe sex while he chose not to. (His editor gig at New Republic is where I lost for them; since almost regained under current leadership but for a paywall out Stalag-17. Or maybe my local slammer, Greenhaven, way north of NYC.)
Probably should include Matt Taibbi in this rogues' gallery. He's being quoted favorably by, of all people, Rod Dreher. I can think of no greater indignity.
Reminds me that my favorite part of last week was Sullivan writing a passive-aggressive final column for NY mag in which he declared that he was not cancelled but HE WAS TOTALLY CANCELLED!! and oh also he’s going back to blogging but just weekly because working on a daily basis is just so draining (said with head tilted back, hand to forehead, palm outward).
And as far as I can tell, no one noticed or cared. Perfect.
I'm guessing, to demonstrate their deep religiousness, Shapiro was wearing his yarmulke and Sullivan his look of moral superiority, which is the only way to tell him and Damon Linker apart.

"Thiel bought them out" is the part where this stopped being parody and started being documentary.
Being “centrist” just hasn’t been the same since the Overton Window slid over to the right of Strom Thurmond.
The New Intellectual Right: same as the Old Intellectual Right but with moar cheese!

This should be the bomb squad - any venture of theirs will surely bomb.
